    Bad birthday

    This is not the best birthday I've had. This morning at 6:30 am a car knocked my niece off her bicycle on her way to work. She suffered a broken arm and severe bruising to her ribs and back. At 11 am my son in law was taken into hospital after suffering a stroke. He is comfortable and is being constantly momitored for the next 24 hours. He will be having a brain scan sometime this evening. We are having the children stay with us tonight, they are a little bewildered but bearing up. My daughter is trying to be strong for them but sometimes it gets too much for her and she breaks down. Tony is only 49 years old and it has come as a great shock to us. He is a veteran of the 2nd Gulf war and recieved some injuries in Iraq which have left him partly disabled. We will be living on a knife edge for the next few days.
    Thanks for listening

          Thanks to you all. We have to wait until tommorow for the results of the scan, so I don't think we will get a good nights sleep, but I'm ever the optomist.

                                I couldn't resist (too long since any new toys) and ordered a blacklight flashlight from Amazon--same price as Harbor Freight. Should be here Tuesday--can't wait to see all the glue spots I've missed.

                                If you google "Moradillo" you'll get more information than you'll ever need. It looks like it will work up beautifully.

                                The first picture is Wenge, pronounced WHEN-ghay or WHEN-Gii. It is a very hard wood. It’s splintery and very hard to cut. When finished, it is almost black. I use it when I need a black wood for Intarsia. I do not know anything about the other wood.

                                I have a new neighbor who did a lot of woodworking in the past but had to give it up because of allergies. He sold his shop equipment and wood stockpile when he moved here, however he kept a few pieces of fancy wood and showed them to me. The first one (First Photo) he had no idea what it was. It is...
